Island Hi-Speed Ferry, a 250-passenger catamaran operated by Boston Harbor Cruises, will begin to sail from Old San Juans Pier 2 to Vieques and Culebra, said local company consultant Bob Leith.

The vessels daily sailings will start at 8:00 a.m., with a 9:45 a.m. arrival in Culebra, and continue to Vieques where it will arrive by 11:00 a.m. The return trip from Vieques will be at 3:00 p.m., picking up passengers in Culebra and returning to Old San Juan by 5:45 p.m. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Island Hi-Speed Ferry will repeat the sailings, allowing passengers to stay longer in Vieques and Culebra.

"For added convenience, passengers can take the Urban Train to AcuaExpresos Hato Rey terminal or park their cars at the train facilities, then catch the ferry into Old San Juans Pier 2," said Leith. "Once on the Island Hi-Speed Ferry, passengers will enjoy the catamarans air-conditioned facilities, which include a cash bar with snacks, along with the assurance of a smoother and faster sailing to Vieques and Culebra, thanks to the catamarans stabilization system."

From San Juan to Vieques, the fare is $70 roundtrip, $40 one-way; and between Culebra and Vieques it is $30 roundtrip, $20 one-way, not including port fees. Rates dont include port fees.
